A little update!

Hello everyone! I am sorry I haven't been able to get on in a while. Our Internet is very unreliable and very slow. Hopefully soon we will have satellite though. Anyways, we are doing ok, still plugging along. Oklahoma has been interesting for sure. We have been here two months now and hopefully being settled is getting closer.
We are in Tulsa tonight staying in a hotel. I am scheduled for my c-section tomorrow morning at 8:15 am and have to be at the hospital at 6:15 am. Way early for me! I am excited to see the baby though. I will be able to use the Internet plenty at the hospital and hotel this week though, (We are staying at the hotel for a day or so after I get out of the hospital). So I am hoping to feel up to posting some pictures and things here.
Thank you for your thoughts and concerns. We miss everyone a lot and hope to be back in touch soon.

Last Girl Scout meeting.

Meghan was kind of sad today at her last Girl Scout meeting in AZ. She had a good time but I could tell she was thinking about it during the meeting. It was their Christmas party meeting and they also recieved the badges they have earned up to this point. Tina the leader had gotten a Girl Scout hat for Meghan and had all the other girls sign it for her. She loved it. The girls all brought some sort of food to share, they were able to choose what they wanted to bring. Meghan chose to bring fruit. Meghan had also made all the girls a little pillow so she was able to pass those out too.

A cold horse show

On Sunday we had a trip planned to the horse event at West World. They had a Girl Scout day and we learned that almost all little girls love horses. So we got up, made a lunch and took off to West World. Well it was freezing, (to us). We were there for about an hour before we decided we weren't going to make it very long and left. When we got home I checked the weather and it said it was 48 degrees in Scottsdale and the high was going to be 54. So yea it was cold. Anyways, Meghan loved seeing the horses and we did get to watch part of a little show. Here are a few pictures from that.

This years Santa picture

Well we went early, were only 3rd in line. Everyone is in a good mood... but Kaden wouldn't sit still for one second and take a picture. He did not want to sit on Santa's lap at all. He would instantly squirm down. So I snapped a couple pictures to show what he was doing. I think they they took close to 15 pictures or more trying to quickly get one. We finally moved him on the other side of Meghan and got one kind of decent. haha
